Cinnamon Roll Waffle Recipe
Description
The waffles are made by melting butter into warm milk, then whisking in eggs and vanilla extract. Dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, and salt are added until just combined, allowing the batter to rest slightly to improve texture. The batter is cooked in a preheated and greased waffle iron until golden and crisp.
Two toppings complete this dish: a cream cheese frosting made by whipping softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla, and a warm cinnamon topping made by mixing melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. These are drizzled over the warm waffles just before serving to give a sweet, creamy, and spicy finish reminiscent of cinnamon rolls.
This recipe offers a novel breakfast or brunch option that brings together the crispness of waffles with rich cinnamon roll flavors. Serving immediately after cooking preserves the contrast between crispy exterior and soft interior of the waffles.
Ingredients
Waffles
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup butter cut into pieces
- 2 egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Cream Cheese topping
- 3/4 cup cream cheese softened, whipped
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Cinnamon Topping
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Add the milk and butter to a measuring cup and heat in the microwave for 60-90 seconds at high power, until the butter is nearly melted.
- Pour the milk mixture into a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla, until combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until just combined (small lumps are ok). Let sit 5 minutes. While the batter is resting, preheat a waffle iron and grease if necessary.
- Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron and cook according the waffle maker's directions. (For my waffle iron, one cup of batter cooked for 4½ minutes was perfect.)
- To make the cream cheese topping, whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. To make the cinnamon topping, whisk together the brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Drizzle the cream cheese topping and the cinnamon topping over the waffles, and enjoy!
